Fengjing enclosure is about 250 miles away from Qingshan City. Because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is extremely rich in natural resources, and the roads are naturally rugged and difficult to navigate. If it weren't for His Majesty's rise to patrol here, there would be very few people on weekdays.

In the middle of the night, a red-faced man leading a donkey sneakily entered the outer jungle of the Fengjing enclosure.

"Whoosh!"

In the silence of the dense forest, a feathered arrow flew out of nowhere, grazed the tip of the man's nose accurately, made a muffled "bang", and pierced a towering tree behind him:

"Woo-goo-goo-goo......"

Yu Liang'an repeatedly stroked his wildly beating chest, and opened his mouth to let out a vivid pheasant chirp; A moment later, with the sound of the trees shaking, a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure appeared from the depths of the dense forest.

"Who's coming?"

"Emperor Xingping's secret envoy."

"What's the proof?"

Yu Liangan cautiously reached into his arms, took out a golden Son of Heaven Order, and threw it at the other party. After the other party inspected it, he returned the king's order with both hands, stepped forward to take the reins of the donkey, and signaled Yu Liang An to follow his footsteps and walk towards the depths of the dense forest.

The two of them walked around and around for about two quarters of an hour. Just when Yu Liang'an, who had been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, was about to lose his way, the two turned around a mountain bay, and a dazzling fire came from in front of them......

"General Qiqi Fang, His Majesty has sent a secret envoy to pass the order."

Fang Junping, who was sitting in front of the bonfire and frowned, stood up with a "whew" when he heard this, and then immediately knelt down on one knee and responded in a loud voice:

"The last general, Fang Junping, welcome the holy decree!"

This response also woke up all the soldiers around him. Everyone rubbed their eyes, looked at the direction where Fang Junping knelt down, and looked at Yu Liangan with anticipation.

And Yu Liang'an blushed, stepped forward to help Fang Junping, and said slightly apologetically:

"General Fang, don't do this, Your Majesty just ordered the villain to come and pass on a word, and there is no need to pay a big salute."

After speaking, Yu Liang'an took the reins of the donkey from the sentry, untied the two large bamboo baskets with his hands and feet, and pushed them to the campfire.

"This is a gift from Your Majesty, and I ask General Fang to personally inspect it."

Fang Junping turned his head and looked at the two thousand brothers who were eating and living together, and his expression was very excited; He raised his head, first looked at Yu Liang'an's color, and then stretched out his trembling right hand and took a deep breath......

Listening to the sound of "swish", Fang Junping lifted the thick quilt, only to see that the coarse cloth lining of the bamboo basket was filled with white lime powder, and the head of a man with a rattail on the back of his head!

There is no doubt that just by this iconic hairstyle, it can be judged that this man's head belongs to the Mobei people; However, due to Fang Junping's long-term stay in the deep forest, there is no way to know the development of Huayu's war situation, and he is still confused at this time. He reached out and took hold of the thin braid, lifted his head from the lime powder, and looked at it through the campfire......

It was the head of a middle-aged man, with a gap on his right cheek that was four fingers wide, and through the flesh of the hole, he could already see the specific injuries in his mouth.

Fang Junping is a battle-hardened brave general, just one glance, and he sees eight or nine without leaving ten: this person's cheeks are open, and half of his teeth are missing; A weapon capable of inflicting such a wound should be a delicate feathered arrow with a barbed arc or a fine iron spear of fine texture.

Looking at the facial features of this skull, the lower jaw is round and long, the lips are slightly thin, and the size of the skull is slightly smaller. Fang Junping shook his head suspiciously, put the head back into the bamboo basket, and opened another bamboo basket......

I saw that in this bamboo basket, it was filled with the head of a middle-aged woman. It's just that the woman's death is more tragic than that of the man: the whole back of her head has no hair, and although the scar has been coagulated by lime powder, through the criss-crossing gunshot wounds, it can still be deduced what kind of siege this Mobei woman suffered before her death......

"Poor ...... I don't know what His Majesty's decree was passed on to the last general; And what is the purpose of His Majesty's reward for these two heads? ”

Yu Liang'an smiled, pointed to the heads of these two "white flowers" and said:

"This man's name is Chaolu, and the woman's name is Sardi, and they are gifts from Li Zilin, the governor of Dongyou, to His Majesty. Now His Majesty has ordered me to hand it over to you, and ask you, Fang Junping and the soldiers under his command, dare to leave the paddock and give it a go with the thief Guo Xing? ”

Although Fang Junping had never heard of Saldi's name, the word "Chaolu" had long been deeply rooted in his mind. After all, this is his old enemy Guo Xing, the new godfather who took refuge, and the reckless hero who seized half of the northern part of the desert.

For the demeanor of such a troubled hero, Fang Junping has also fantasized countless times in his heart. But when he saw the unrecognizable head with his own eyes, he could not connect the two in any way.

"Chaolu? Are you saying that this head would actually belong to the Great Khan Chaolu of the Shenshi tribe? How can it be...... Don't Li Du get the wrong person, right? ”

"Absolutely, yes. This person's original surname was Kang, his milk name was Shishi, and his biological parents were both from the Yematai family on Zhongshan Road. When Kang was six years old, his parents were murdered by Mobei horse thieves who raided the border, and he himself was trafficked into slavery in the Doha River League, a small tribe of ASEAN pastures. About ten years ago, this man had an affair with the eldest lady of the family, and was broken by the Great Khan of Doha, who broke both legs; After recovering from his wounds, he poisoned the Great Khan of Doha and married Saldi of Doha in the same year. Two years later, when Bormu Khan died of illness, he also changed the name of the Doha River League to the Shenshi Alliance, and with the strong support of Di Ting, he quickly swallowed the entire ASEAN pasture. ”

Yu Liangan pointed to Chao Lu's head and introduced his life trivia to Fang Junping in a flat tone. And Fang Junping was not only persuaded by these words, but also stunned by the other party's ability to collect such detailed and accurate intelligence.

"You...... Isn't he a cattle dealer in Bongjing? ”

"Don't get me wrong, Chaolu's details have nothing to do with me, but they come from the Supreme Gambling House."

Fang Junping stared at Chao Lu's head silently for a while, and then asked Yu Liang An in a puzzled tone:

"Since the Chaolu couple has been ambushed, and the Shenshi tribe has gone, why did Your Majesty still let us show up?"

"General Fang, this is a major matter between your monarchs and ministers, and I am just a flat-headed commoner, so I can't help you. Well, now that I have brought the words, I will say goodbye. I also bother you to borrow a brother and send him out of the mountain. ”

After Fang Junping, who was in a state of turmoil, sent someone to send Yu Liangan away, he also fell into distressed contemplation.

As soon as Chaolu and his wife die, no matter what the battle situation is outside, the Shenshi Army will inevitably be in chaos and the morale of the army will be discouraged; And the two thousand strengths under his command are all the top elites drawn from the Flying Bear Army; In addition, they also got 2,000 sets of equipment and horses for heavy cavalry, which can be called rich and terrifying.

But the task of their 2,000 people is to boil their muscles and bones every day, rehearse formations, cultivate tacit understanding of coordinated operations, and eat and sleep stupidly. From Fang Junping, the chief general of the cavalry, to the sentry horse and cavalry, they were completely cut off from the world outside the mountain. As the days passed, everyone had forgotten what day it was and what year it was!

However, after this period of arduous training, Fang Junping can unceremoniously assert that the two thousand heavy armored cavalry under his command, whether it is individual combat ability or overall tactical literacy, can represent the highest level of the Youbei Third Road, and even the entire Huayu Continent!

The uselessness of heroes is a very distressing thing. These elites, who have become accustomed to the way of heavy cavalry combat, have long had a desire to fight with the enemy with real swords and guns; Everyone hopes to use a flesh-and-blood battle to verify the results of their hard training.

It's a pity that the King of Zhongshan has already said in advance: as long as there is no will of His Majesty for a day, even a pile of horse manure in the Fengjing enclosure cannot be shoveled out of the mountain! Therefore, although Fang Junping himself was eager for a battle, he could only continue to listen to the complaints of his brothers, gritted his teeth every day, and devoted the monstrous battle in his chest to redoubling his hard training.

But this bloody battle in front of him is a shocking battle to completely quell the military disaster in the north; But this credit and statement are too heavy, and it is not a fruit that a person like Fang Junping from a humble background can touch.

Since Chaolu and Sardi both died, the outcome of the defeat of the Shenshi army in Zhongshan was also doomed. It seems that such a low-hanging fruit of fixing the country is not His Majesty's personal conquest; Why not Yan Chongwu of the Flying Bear Army; Why not the Taining general Ding Shuo; Why is it not Li Zilin, who has just made great achievements, but it is Fang Junping?

So today, a decree came from Liang An, and it also opened the cage that trapped the tigers, but it made Fang Junping, the head of the tigers, suffer some gains and losses......

What he longs for is an evenly matched, bloody and bitter battle! Instead of stealing credit from friendly forces that does not belong to them at all.

Just as he was secretly entangled, a handsome young soldier stepped forward; He grabbed Chao Lu's pigtails, played left and right, and asked Fang Junping at the same time:

"Old Fang, seeing that you are worried, is there any new will from Your Majesty?"

When they were not training and fighting, Fang Junping and his 2,000 brothers had always been called brothers, regardless of whether they were high or low. Now Fang Junping turned his head when he heard this, and saw that the person who opened his mouth to ask was a close friend he had just made: the eldest son of the Yan Tie Si Cheng family under the household department, Xue Mi Xue Dezhao.

"Dezhao, Your Majesty has allowed us to go out of the mountain."

"Shall we go out of the mountain? Isn't that a good thing, why are you still sad? ”

"Hey, you don't know. The owners of these two heads are the Great Khan Chaolu of the Shenshi tribe and the princess Saldi! ”

Young Master Xue is already a civil and military official eunuch, and his brain is much more flexible than Fang Junping, who was born in Weimo. As soon as he heard this, he understood what Fang Junping was thinking......

It's just that in his opinion, this is not only the death of the thief Guo Xing, but also Fang Junping's great luck!
